NBC execs have been slowly rebuilding their schedule and they’ve had a hard time finding new successful series. Will The Player be a ratings success or, will it be cancelled like so many others? Will it be renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
Set in Las Vegas, The Player follows a huge game in which world events are predicted, gambled upon and influenced by a shadowy elite. Controlling the game is the “The Pitt Boss,” a mysterious Mr. Johnson (Wesley Snipes). “The Dealer” is Cassandra (Charity Wakefield) and she recruits rogue FBI agent Alex Kane (Philip Winchester) as “The Player”. Alex is driven by the need to find out who killed his wife. Damon Gupton also stars.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

What do you think? Do you like The Player TV series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Loved the player, not fair cancelled. Why should consumers invest in watching new shows when you cancel and leave story unfinished.
The Player was our favorite show! I can’t believe you’re trying to cancel it, please don’t. If the rating are down it’s probably because it hasn’t been advertised much. Nobody I know has even heard of this show yet.
I love this show. Please do NOT cancell this show. Put it on Friday or Saturday night. Those are two nights that could use a boost. Getting real tired of ALL reality shows that are really stupid.
The show is great the action is awsome. The story line was really getting g e citing I. Opulent wait to see the next show and follow up o. His wife and her secret. BC nust picked a bad time to air the show. But it was getting intense. And hold my peak of interest and about ten others who watched it with us.
Whoever decided to cancellation the show should give it anotber shot. Its too good to throw away.
Please do not cancel the player we have enjoyed this action packed series. Maybe changing the week night so it doesn’t compete with football could help.
renew it. NOW!
Please renew I enjoyed it
I think that the execs do not give shows enough of a chance to create a large following before they cancel it. Then they leave those that watch it a show they like, get hooked on the story and leave us wondering what would have happened had it not been canceled. This is a great show that deserves another season, another chance, especially since Thursday night football is on at the same time. When new shows come out I’m afraid to watch them because I may get hooked, but not enough people did so they cancelled it. I figure I… Read more »
Promote this show! “The Player” is a momentum builder. NBC execs are fools if they don’t see what they have. And. I like the way the show has begun to use Snipes character during the past two shows. “The Player” is gonna payoff huge!
Great show & it had a little something different. I hope they bring it back next season!
DON’T cancel The Player!! It’s an exciting show. We are SO over the reality type or competition type shows. Please bring back drama and action!
We love the show…love Winchester…he was awesome on strike back and kicks but on the player!!!!! Don’t cancel!!!!!!!!
the player is a unique idea and the best in years and cancelling it is a disappointment by itself
PLEASE don’t cancel! The Player just keeps getting better and I love it now that it’s “settling in”. It seems that once the actors become comfortable and find their character in themselves it just gets better — like The Player has. It’s a fresh plot, and I’d be super disappointed to see it go.
We loved the player and agree it’s gotten better every week. 10 x better than Limitless which I think is still going. The Player has so many plot twists, it could go on forever. I really hope it doesn’t get cancelled.
